I would say the Northwest Passage is but one of the boundaries. We are going to have the issue in the Beaufort Sea; we're going to have the issue in the continental shelf.
Let me be very clear on this. Do I think the end of our policy should be about sovereignty, to say “we have sovereignty”? No. We need control. I don't care what you call it. You can go through an international agreement. But we have to ask what it is that we want the sovereignty for. We want the sovereignty to ensure that Canadian regulations, Canadian environmental standards, and Canadian northern communities are protected. If we can get that through an international agreement, I'm all for that too. So sovereignty is a means. This often gets misunderstood in the press. I think that we sometimes lose ourselves in that argument. I think that's a critical distinction.
